Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is a statutory body in India that administers the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) scheme, providing healthcare, disability, maternity, and dependent benefits to employees. It is mandatory for organizations with 10 or more employees (20 in some states) earning up to the prescribed wage limit.

For industries like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and facility management, ESI compliance is crucial for managing the external workforce, including contract workers and blue-collar employees. Employers must ensure timely ESI contributions, employee registration, and access to medical benefits. Proper ESI management helps businesses comply with labor laws while enhancing worker welfare and financial security.
